Amchart dataLoader to have drilldown dynamically - php

Question

Based on this tutorial https://www.amcharts.com/kbase/using-data-loader-to-connect-charts-to-mysql-data-base/, I am able to load the data by calling a php page using dataLoader into this kind of chart https://www.amcharts.com/demos/combined-bullet-column-line-chart/
My requirement:
When click on the column in the chart, it needs to call the another php file to fetch data with a different query based on the selection in the chart (that will be used as a where condition in query).
I tried something with the below code, but nothing works
var chart = AmCharts.makeChart("chartdiv", {
"type": "serial",
"theme": "light",

});
chart.addListener("clickGraphItem", function (event) {
// let's look if the clicked graph item had any subdata to drill-down into
// wow it has!
// let's set that as chart's
//chart.dataLoader.loadFile("bed-turnover-drill-province.php");
// event.chart.dataLoader ={"url": "bed-turnover-drill-province.php"};
// event.chart.validateData();
chart.dataLoader = { url: "bed-turnover-drill-province.php"}
//chart.validateData();
};
});
Kindly help.

You have to call the dataLoader's loadData method after you change the URL to load from the new source:
chart.addListener("clickGraphItem", function (event) {
chart.dataLoader.url = "bed-turnover-drill-province.php";
chart.dataLoader.loadData();
};
